Abstract: 22,777. Booth, J. Nov. 15. Spooling-machines.-Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 10,729, A.D. 1885. The guide-rod G and frame n are reciprocated by a nut and screw arrangement in the usual manner, and the nut is driven through a clutch b and clutch wheels c, c<1> running in a sleeve d, which is slid on the shaft a by the reversing- lever e. The lever e is locked in its extreme position by a pair of levers t<2>, t<3>, which are drawn together by springs and released at the ends of the traverse by the oscillation of a bell-crank lever t operated by the shaper rod C. When the lever e is released, it is immediately moved into its opposite extreme position by one of the spring levers g, h, which carry pawls j for operating a ratchet-wheel, the proper spring k having been placed in tension by the corresponding block p or p<1> on the frame n, which moves with the guide-rod G. For lifting the guides at the ends of the traverse, the guide-rod G carries downwardlyprojecting levers s<3>, which press against a longitudinal rod s, and the latter is provided with lateral wedge-shaped blocks, and is connected by a chain q<1> with the shaft F of the ratchet-wheel, so that, as the ratchet-wheel is rotated, the guide-rod G is also turned. In order that the guides may press upon the spool with considerable pressure during the last few layers that are wound, the rod S is blocked at the proper time and a flexible and adjustable connection is inserted between the rod and the chain q<1>, the chain being connected with a spring lever q<3>, pivoted upon a frame carrying a screw r', the nut of which is connected by an adjustable screwed coupling with the rod S. The thread-guide is clamped in a holder 7, which is pivoted at 3 to a boss 1 secured to the shaft G and is held in contact with a projecting portion 13 of the boss by a link 10 and spring 11, the link and spring also securing the holder in the raised position when the latter is raised for piecing &c. The holder is adjusted laterally by turning the screwed pivot pins 3, and vertically by means of a screw which is extended to form a handle 9. In order to ensure that the spindle shall catch the thread of the wound bobbin and properly transfer it to the next spool to be wound, the spindle is fitted with a sleeve which extends nearly to the spool and is provided with a curved guiding-surface. In order to prevent any unfastened spools from being unwrapped and wasted, the doffed and filled spools are blocked in the channels 19 until the next spools are filled, fingers 20<a> projecting across the channels from arms 20 carried by a longitudinally-sliding shaft 18 operated by a suitable cam on the cam shaft 21. When the next set of spools are ready for doffing, the previously-filled spools are automatically released, and are collected in receptacles 24.
